APPLESEED: EX MACHINA DVDs, cheap and English-friendly from Hong Kong, come and get ‘m! (UPDATED)

Posted by Ard Vijn at 2:33pm.

Posted in DVD News .

(EDIT: Oops, I first mentioned the Japanese versions didn’t have subtitles, but that was an error on my part. The first Appleseed didn’t have subs, and I read in several forums that the Japanese “Ex Machina” wouldn’t either. This has been proven wrong: the Japanese “Ex Machina” has English subs!)
A mixed bag but a gorgeous one, I found “Appleseed: Ex Machina” to be very much worth a look. It shares some faults with its predecessor, but it also solved some and introduced new ones. The short of it is: if you liked the first, you owe it to yourself to see the second.
It’s being released worldwide on DVD, Japan has a typically beautiful edition out but that is very expensive.
Thankfully, in Hong Kong we trust.
Two nice editions, cheap as dirt, English-friendly and out SOON (as in next week): from the 11th of March onward you can choose between single-disc and double-disc editions.

Get them while they’re hot!

    Japanese editions actually are listed with English subs Ard.  I’ve got the big ass box set on order to bookend my big ass release of the first film.  Have you heard otherwise on the subs somewhere?

    Speaking of Appleseed, a TV series called Appleseed Genesis was announced today.

    OOPS, I stand corrected.

    I distinctly remember cursing out loud when “Ex Machina” appeared to be released sub-less, but I checked my sources and what do you know: they agree after the official announcement that these actually have English subs!

    I never even noticed this in the earlier article about the Japanese release, my (wrongful) disappointment blinded me!?

    Updated the article accordingly.
